Precautions at work

In salons, complex drawings are applied to the body. At home, however, most often temporary tattoos are applied. The procedure for applying a temporary tattoo, is simple. The application technology begins with the preparation of the pattern area. Next, the machine is prepared.

The skin under the future masterpiece should be hairless. For this purpose, the prepared area specially remove hairs with a razor. The place of the future tattoo should be thoroughly disinfected. After that, do not immediately apply the drawing machine. Should make a sketch with a marker or a simple pencil. Clearly drawn lines will make the drawing neat and beautiful.

Before working, the needle must be treated with a disinfectant. The disinfectant must be applied by first stepping back from the tip of the needle by 0.3 mm. Wind a thread of cotton around the needle to make a neat ball. This ball will act as a stopper.

Dye pigment for the tattoo is poured into a special bowl. At the same time, the needle in the bowl is lowered to the level of the ball, which serves as a limiter. Next, the drawing is applied to the skin with dotting movements. The gentler the movements, the more likely it is that the design will be beautiful. The needle needs to follow the contour of the tattoo delicately.

In this technique, the skin is not pierced deeply. There should not be much blood on the skin. The technique does not cause discomfort. Excess paint is carefully removed with a cotton disk soaked in an alcohol solution. A small piece of cloth can also be used instead of a cotton disk.

After the work is done, the tattoo should be rinsed with warm water. This treatment removes excess paint from the surface of the skin. The used needle and other devices should be thrown away. It is not necessary to use them again.

It is worth noting that irritation is possible. The area where the tattoo is applied can swell slightly. From this this area can redden and swell. Under the dried up place further it is necessary to treat with a chlorhexidine solution. But after a few hours the swelling will go down. Such an image will be long-lasting on the skin. You won't have to worry about the durability of the image for 2 weeks. But after 14 days, the image will come off the tattoo area.

In order to make the image qualitatively it is necessary to prepare the tools. In addition to disinfectant, you will need copy paper. It will help more clearly transfer the drawing on the skin. Also need a varnish strong fixation, which will help to better consolidate the effect.

Salons repeatedly apply only to the machine for tattoos. All other tools, such as a needle, are used once. Salons carefully disinfect all tools so as not to accidentally get an infection under a person's skin.

At home, similar sanitary conditions should not be neglected either. The finished image should be thoroughly wiped with Miramistin and Chlorhexidine. These preparations effectively reduce inflammation and destroy germs on the surface.

How to create a sketch

For a bright and beautiful tattoo, you can copy work from salon examples. But most people can draw on their own, thereby creating a customized image on the entire surface of the skin. If you can't create an image yourself, it's best to contact a specialist who can help you develop a sketch.
